Staff Person #2 was listed by the facility as a Group Supervisor (GS); however, the education documentation on file qualifies Staff Person #2 as an Assistant Group Supervisor (AGS). The facility did not have documentation on file verifying that Staff Person #2 has 30 credit hours in early childhood education, child development, special education, elementary education, or a related human services field, as required to meet Group Supervisor qualifications.

Correction Required: Individual, clean, age-appropriate rest equipment shall be provided for preschool, toddler and infant children as agreed between the child's parent and the operator.

Noncompliance Area: During allocated unannounced monitoring conducted on 6/9/2025, the most recent health assessment on file for staff person #1 is dated 3/22/2023, which is past 24 months.

Correction Required: A facility person providing direct care who comes into contact with the children or who works with food preparation shall have a health assessment conducted within 12 months prior to providing initial service in a child care setting and every 24 months thereafter. A health assessment is valid for 24 months following the date of signature, if the person does not contract a communicable disease or develop a medical problem.

Provider Response: (Contact the State Licensing Office for more information.)
We acknowledge that the health assessment on file for staff person #1 was not updated within the required 24-month period. Upon identifying this, the staff member went to the doctor and completed the health assessment on 6/9/2025 but forgot the required Health Assessment form. The updated assessment has now been completed, but the doctor needs to fill out the childcare employee health assessment form. She dropped off the form, but the doctor's office staff told her that it will take from 5 to 10 business days to be done. They will notify her when they have it ready. Then the health assessment will be on file for staff person # 1 and will be ensuring compliance with the requirement that a health assessment is valid for 24 months, provided no communicable disease or medical problem develops.
